     Gracious Heavenly Father, we come into Your presence with humility and fear. 
     Lord, help us to develop a reverential fear in You in every area of our life. May we not lean on our own understanding, and not fear the world or worldly challenges but fear only You.
     Lord, let our fear on You be the beginning  of the wisdom, to fear sin. Not just because of its consequences, but because it grieves and displeases Your heart. Help us to depart from it. 
     Lord, let Your eye watch over us who fear and be the fountain of life to protect us from the snares of death. May we remember that You are not merely a Redeemer and a God of love, but also a Judge.
     Lord, let all Your  promises cleanse us, perfecting us in the fear of God. Be our Rock and our Refuge, and help us to trust in Your goodness and Your love. Give us the strength and courage we need to face our fears and find peace in You.
    In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
